An all new adventure.

Sorry to hear your situation but lots of great advice given above…..many many people have been in the same spot you are in and have come out just fine - and I speak from first hand experience. With your outlook you don’t have any worries.

Thank you. Lots of wisdom from all you guys. As mentioned I put this thread up to maybe help someone in a difficult similar situation. You all have put up some great posts that everyone can take something from. So let's get back to fishing tales. I went fishing posting results now.

Hi Jamie,
Just wanted to say I'm sorry and wishing you all the best in your new endevours.

You have the right attitude and thanks for posting this, I know many people are going through hard times these past few years.. and I hope this gives them hope and the positive attitude to press forward and achieve their goals..

Cheers & happy fishing..

Thank you very much. Just came back from a quick trip up to the family house by Sturgeon. Caught a couple fish for a BBQ dinner. Good luck next time you are out on the water.

Yikes!

Thanks for sharing Jamie, what the hell is going on in this world? Sorry for the delay - we were away on vacation.

If you ever need a day out on the boat, I am sure I could use the lessons you would impart.

Keep it in mind.

Thanks

Thank you for the offer, that is very kind. Did you do any fishing on your vacation. Or was it a dry vacation.

If your let go was not done legally, you need legal advice. At 24.5 years, they owe you something. You don't mention being compensated so I hope you know you are entitled to it.

Even middle managers who are cleared out from multinational companies receive some sort of compensation.

Just a thought....but go ask the competition if they want to hire an experienced guy. You may even get more money for your knowledge.

Thank you for the advice. So many of the members have contributed on this post, and it is appreciated. That is what I was hoping for just in case someone was going through a similar situation. Or someone just going through a tough time in general. Sometimes reading about a similar situation can help a person out there that won't ask for assistance. You just never know how far a kind word can go in this world. It can snowball and the affects can be a life changer. I bet you guys here on the forum are the ones holding the door for people. Keep up the good work. The world needs more love and kindness.

100% fishing!

It was a great trip - lots of fish and great food!

Looking forward to reading about it when you have time to post it.

Sorry to hear about this...

AS others have mentioned........it's tough but new pathways open up

This happened to me when I was about your age and we relocated down to the south and I started my charter fishing business.....took some work to get it going, but we never looked back and it took me to a place where i absolutely loved what i was doing


our logo and my motto in life is


JUST DO IT

Well you made the right choice. You sure have made many people happy with your fishing charters. I enjoy reading the posts very much. Hard to find people that love what they do. There is always time to start a new adventure, or revise an old one......no matter who you are.

Hope you consulted a labor lawyer my friend....you are owed.....with 24+ years service, you are owed quite a bit....

Thank you for the advice. I can't get into any details for obvious legal reasons. A fortunate circumstance happened to me years ago. I was educated in labour law so many options are out there. That's another good reason for all the members feedback on this post. Sometimes a story goes up on the forum about fishing, hunting, camping, or anything for that matter. Never too old to take advice or learn something new.
